The New Humorous Book, samantha
atSaratoga," By Josiah Aliens
Wife,

One of the most prominent person.
ages of the literary world just now is
Miss Marietta Holley, popularly known
as Samantha Allen, or Josiah Aliens
wife. She became favOrite very early
in her literary career, and each new
issue from her pen has added to her
fame, until, for her latest work, "Sa-
mantha at Saratoga" Messrs. Hubbard
Brothers paid her princely sum, and
the book is decidedly a hit. 1t will
doubtless outsell all her previous issues,
as it unquestionably outshines them
all in the fascinating vein of humor in
which Miss Holley is so happy and so
rich. ...
Preparing for this work, Miss Holley
went to Saratoga and spent an entire
season, with eyes and ears open, and
with brain and pencil vigorously at
work. She went in her famous assumed
role of Josiah Aliens wife, her imagin-
ary Josiah at her side, with his charac-
teristic blunders, .fd'Ir pas, and quick,
boylike enthusiasm. AS Samantha
Allen, Miss Holley is observant, unso-
phisticated, out-spoken, and sound to
the core on every question of propriety.
Such couple in the whirl of Saratoga
would certainly develop many re-
markable situations and utter many
funny comments. 1t is here the
humor of the book arises. Plain, back
country, village life, and gay, artificial
Saratoga life are so wide apart, that
each side becomes ludicrOus to the
other. These ludicrous, laugh-provok-
ing contrasts are the dominant features
of Miss Holley's book.
70 these mirth-making presenta-
tions of the author, the artists pencil
has added rich entertainment. Over
hundred drawings have been made
especially to illustrate the text by
Frederick Opper, the leading artist of
Puck. Burt Wilder, too, has done a
share in embellishing this attractive
book. These artists make their pic
lures talk, and between the text and
the talk of the pictures the reader looks
and laughs and laughs and looks again.
Altogether, the book is rare product,
and its purchasers will not be disap-
pointed. Published by Hubbard Bros,
Philadelphia.

sB The Chicago Ne,os: "a wave of reason
has rolled across the Democratic party. 1t
has begun in consequence to respond freely
and faithfully to the steady hand from which
it receives its chief guidance. The honest
methods of President Cleveland have been
popular with the people from the start, and
now the most trusted leaders under him give
to his administration their unqualified in
dorsement. Such men as Allen g. Thurman,
Mayor Hewitt, of New York, John G.. Carlisle,
and others of near equal rank, do not utter
idle words when they testify to their admira-
tion of the calm, strong man who is at the
head of the national Government. Speaker
Carlisle said the other day: "If nominated
President Cleveland will be elected, no mat
ter who may be his opponent. He has given
the country q sensible, business-like, and
patriotic adm inistration, and the best evi-
deace ofhis caplcity for the place he occupies
Is found in the fact that even his most vigi-
liant and vindictive political opponents have
not been able to point to a single instance in
which any public interest has suffered on ac-
count of his official conduct. The petulant
tone of the party criticism to which he has
been subject throughout his administration
is Of itself confession that his course in re-
gard to large and important matters is unas-
sailable."
